Composite Fillings

A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a composite filling.

There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. You and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or more visible areas of the mouth.

As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday have to be replaced. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile.

Reasons for composite fillings:

Chipped teeth.

Closing space between two teeth.

Cracked or broken teeth.

Decayed teeth.

Worn teeth.

Testimonials

Dr Gardocki, Autumn, Mary, and the whole staff are very good at what they do. I used to hate going to the dentist, not anymore. They encourage me to do the right things to improve my dental health and it's worked. Mary does a great job on the cleanings and is always making sure my comfort level is good.

Dr. Gardocki and her team provide excellent service, they are present, engaged and have excellent communication skills. Shortly after arriving, Dr. G and her team identified the issue I was having with my tooth, and then presented me with straight-forward advice regarding my treatment options. I highly recommend Dr. Gardocki and the entire staff at Advanced Care Dental to anyone looking for dental care in the greater Madison area.
